1 How to make EPR work for better life cycle performance of products 1 23 September 2013 Mike Van Acoleyen m.vanacoleyen@arcadisbelgium.be ARCADIS Belgium

2 Imagine the result

3 A full life cycle conception extraction production distribution consumption waste post-waste 3 23 September 2013

4 EPR in conception conception Strategic decisions Not only on how I will make a product (for which a market exists or can be created) in the most sustainable way But also on do we need this product, this market To have an idea To produce in the greenest possible way To consume 4 23 September To have an 2013 idea To think again To produce in the greenest possible way To consume in a sustainable way

5 extraction EPR in raw materials/extraction Take responsibility in the selection of raw materials Avoid hidden flows, mainly in third world countries Support resource efficiency a tax on specific primary raw materials a bonus on specific secondary/alternative raw materials (Extended?) producer responsibility Extended incentives to make the right choice 5 23 September 2013

6 EPR in production, production distribution consumption distribution and consumption Production and distribution: (Plain) producer responsibility, extended push and pull incentives Mind the packaging apply the PPWD Essential Requirements on packaging minimisation Consumption: There is much less rubber on a waste tire than on a new one EPR for material loss in the consumption phase ; Internalise externalities 6 23 September 2013

7 EPR in consumption consumption Programmed obsolescence Take care that your product fails and needs replacement, before its technically achievable lifespan And sell the replacement product EPR: Provide a lifelong guarantee with free replacement Kill the incentive for programmed obsolescence 7 23 September 2013

8 EPR in waste post-waste waste and post waste phases Waste: the traditional approach finance collection and recycling Post-waste: Take responsibility for end-of-waste products, guarantee its ESM (environmentally sound management) Finance third party certification in case of export of waste and end-of waste products Include aspects like marine litter, plastic soup, Finance loophole remediation, cleanup etc 8 23 September 2013

9 EPR in waste post-waste waste and post waste phases Export of EU-27 copper waste to China. What will happen with copper end-of-waste export? 9 23 September 2013 Marine litter conference : Message from Berlin: enhance EPR for marine litter

11 Why couldn t we get rid of non-recycled packaging for which valid, recyclable alternatives exist September 2013

12 EPR, individual or collective BONUS for the environment target What if individual companies have to deal with EPR themselves? Badly performing company, generating difficult to recycle waste Average performing company September 2013 Market/sector average High performing company, with easy to recycle waste

13 EPR, individual or collective Target reached, but nothing extra Better performing companies cover for worse performers target What if a collective system with a PRO takes over? September 2013 Market/sector average Badly performing company, generating difficult to recycle waste Average performing company High performing company, with easy to recycle waste

14 How to make EPR work for better life cycle performance? conception extraction production distribution consumption waste post-waste 1. Calculate EPR contribution on more and diversified targets and indicators BEYOND and ABOVE collection, recovery and recycling targets Apply financial push and pull incentives in all stages of the life cycle September 2013

15 How to make EPR work for better life cycle performance? 2. Make it less expensive for a producer to increase sustainability and to avoid waste than it is to carry the costs of its EPR obligation, or to pay the admission fee for a PRO, even if adapted according to the real cost principle September 2013
